Filming Schedule

Film schedule

When filming, a schedule it is very important to make sure that all of the scenes are filmed especially well for continuity, so that the cast and crew can prepare for shooting efficiently. As you may only have locations for a short time, planning is essential; this kind of preparation also separates the professional from the amateur. It is also useful to organise the times in which the cast and crew are needed, as well as to plan out where all the shots will be filmed, on which day and location. This will help make filming much more organised and easier for everyone to understand the times and the locations in which they are needed.

As a group of students we did not completely follow the schedule, this was due to unpredicted events such as exams or assessments. On some days we ended up filming much more than we planned, putting us ahead of schedule and forcing us to make changes. On other occasions we came up with different ideas to what we had originally planned, as some shots did not look as good as we had thought, so for this reason we carried a black book with all the changed times and locations to our schedules and new ideas in order to complete the filming within our deadline.

For example we decided to film on the Embankment as we thought that the lights from the bridges and the London Eye would work well in our music video.
